  3. Marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight in the refrigerator for maximum flavor penetration).
  4. Bake, grill, or pan-fry your marinated chicken according to your preferred cooking method. (Approximate cooking time: 20-30 minutes depending on the cut and cooking method)
  5. Serve and enjoy your incredibly flavorful and juicy chicken!
